What a hog roast costs

- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level pitch
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
